About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX165S
The AirTAC SAI160X165-S is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty automation. It delivers a substantial push force of 14074 N at 0.7 MPa, utilizing a 160 mm bore and a 165 mm stroke to power demanding industrial machinery. The extruded aluminum barrel design omits traditional tie rods while maintaining strict dimensional interchangeability with other ISO 15552 cylinders.
This specific configuration includes a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance in humid or mildly chemically exposed environments. Equipped with a magnet (-S), the barrel features integrated sensor grooves on both sides for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE reed switches, ensuring reliable position feedback across its 30-500 mm/s operating speed range.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX165S Is Used
Heavy Metal Forming
Provides the high thrust force necessary for bending, pressing, and forming thick metal sheets in automated fabrication lines.
Large Clamp Assemblies
Ideal for securing heavy cast components or large weldments during machining operations, ensuring zero movement under high cutting forces.
Bulk Material Diverting
Powers robust diverter arms on heavy-duty conveyor systems to redirect large pallets or bulk material flows reliably.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160AX165S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore over the smaller 125 mm variant provides a significant force upgrade, jumping from 8590 N to 14074 N of push force at 0.7 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down reduces air consumption and physical footprint. This model features PT tapered G3/4 ports and uses standard ISO 15552 mounting accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions to match your structural requirements.
While the 165 mm stroke is relatively short for this bore size, always evaluate the rod bearing bending stress if substantial side loads are present. For applications that must hold a load securely during a complete loss of air pressure, a standard SAI cylinder will drift; you should specify the SAIL variant with an air-released lock or the BSAI bidirectional clamp-lock cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
